Alicante is known worldwide for its sun and rice dishes, but in recent years, a new aroma has conquered the streets of the city center and the province: the aroma of the firewood and real embers. The tradition of the Argentinean asado has taken root on the Costa Blanca, offering diners an experience that goes far beyond simply eating meat; it is a rite where fire transforms the product into art.
What defines an authentic Argentinean steakhouse?
Not every place that serves steak can be considered a true Argentinean steakhouse. For the experience to be memorable and authentic, there are non-negotiable factors that make the difference. The first is the respect for firegrilled meat requires time, patience and the use of real embers that provide that unmistakable smoky aroma that the grill can never replicate.
In addition, the expertise of the griller is vital. A good professional knows the origin of each piece, selects the right cuts and, above all, knows how to «listen» to the meat in order to respect the exact cooking point requested by the client. In Argentinean culture, salt is often the only seasoning, since the aim is not to disguise the flavor, but to enhance the intrinsic quality of the product.
